Women are to Purses, what Balls are to men

"I want to have more sex, travel more, drink more wine, and love life" -Zoe Saldana

Girl.. Don't we ALL want that... ::sighs::



Hello all,


Okay so can I just say that Zoe Saldana is quickly becoming my favorite "It" girl.. I loved her in Crossroads (Shut the hell up) Star Trek and most recently, box office smash Avatar. She reportedly has a few stylists, but her main bish is Rachel Zoe. (Great job Rach..) Anywho continuing with the Spring trends, we come to my second favorite part of an ensemble....

PURSES!!!!

Check out these sinfully gorgeous purses and notice the common factor with all of them.

Alexander McQueen


Prada

Proenza Schouler

Jimmy Choo

Stella McCartney

Oscar De La Renta

So.. Isn't that Alexander McQueen absolutely delish.. I swear. And the Stella McCartney is also a favorite.. Okay kiddies... So what's the trend.. Give up? Little is BIG! So I know some of you *Including myself* swear by purses bigger than our heads, but the trend for the summer is smaller purses and clutches. Idk WHAT the expect me to do with those tiny purses, but I'm sure I'll manage ;-)

Love you all!

Heels and Thangs

Carrie: I tried the trapeze yesterday for that piece that I'm writing.
Charlotte: I could never! I have the most terrible fear of heights.
Carrie: Well, I do not. You've seen my shoes.

Hello fabulous ones!

This is the the second of 5 posts that I'm writing dedicated to the upcoming Spring twenty 10 fashion trends. Today's post is a good one .. It's dedicated to my absolute favorite thing in this world... The make or break item in an ensemble... None other than....

SHOES!!!!

Spring's shoe trends are looking a lil repetitive. Basket weave, sky high platforms, and gladiators. But one trend managed to sneak it's way onto the runway for the first time since '92....

The Clog.. Dun Dun Duuuuuuun (Evil music)

Look... I'm not EVEN gonna lie.. I debated putting a clog on here because frankly, I hate them more than espadrilles and stingy ponytails.. But, I wouldn't be doing you all justice if I didn't add them. SO, without further ado, here are the shoes to look out for in Spring 2010

Disclaimer :These pictures may cause you to drool and ruin whatever it is that you're viewing this on..

Stop and Smell the Roses

Florals make my lips pucker :-P

Hello there!

So last night was my attempt at apologizing for neglecting my duties to you all.. So today I'm giving up a little fashion snack! Can you feel it? It's getting warmer (in some places). The days are becoming longer and the only thing on everybody's mind is SUMMER! Well, same with me lovelies. But before Summer can grace us with her precense, we must first welcome Spring. There are sooo many amazing trends that will be both in stores and on the bodies of Fashionistas and Fashionistos around the world. Because there are so many, I couldnt possibly dedicate 1 blog to every trend. So, I've decided to break them up. I am so incredibly excited about todays trend..

FLORAL PRINTS!!!!

UGH.. Arent they just the MOST! I absolutely love this trend because it's a way of looking classic without looking like your wearing your grandmother's curtains. Those Leggings absolutely give me life. And guess what lovelies, all these looks can be found at Forever 21!! Cuteness on a budget :-)

Peep her cut and the pout. Now get into it

Lovelies!

OHH EMM GEE how I've missed you so.. It's been too long..

I'm so so sorry I've been neglectful. But I'm currently in the process of getting my life together. (we all know how stressful that can be.... Even for a Fashionista). So guess what? I have 3... yes, Three, tres, tois new blog posts for you.. Including my favorite Spring trends blog which will be up tomorrow.

*Promise*

Hope the Winter hasn't bummed you all out too much.. I know I'm ready for it to warm up (as I stuff my face with cake). I'll tell you a little about what's been going on.. I'm getting ready for some major changes in my life.. It's about that time. I've been romantically flirting with the idea of moving back to Atlanta and as much as I would love to, going by myself is a no go. Plus my "real job" boss keeps throwing around the word raise which is reason enough for me to stay in Chicago.

My love life has taken a severe beating.. It's really frustrating and nerve wrecking when you cant have what you want. Especially if you're spoiled and borderline bratty like myself. I have the Jones hard for somebody, but you cant change peoples feelings.. (sucks huh.. stupid ass free will)

I need to get some Spring cleaning done.. My room and newly decorated closet looks like a war zone, and I have too many shoes, purses, and clothes that I never wear that needs to be outtie '09.

Not only apparel though.. Spring is all about starting fresh and new. So I decided to join a knitting club.. (Yeah, so WHAT) and I've started meditating. I'm also changing that number and going through major people evaluations. *Cuz it's about that time* Sometimes picking up new hobbies and dumping bad habits is exactly what you need to start a new you over. I'm gonna be so brand new this Summer I'm almost ashamed for other people.

I realized I was really thinking about the wrong things. When you're comfortable in a certain setting or situation it's easy to lose sight of your goals and dreams (hence the reason I haven't talked to you fabooshes in so long). But it's time to prune some of these leaves and plant some new seeds. I will be great. Just watch and see ;-)

Pay homage to the queen Bishes..

Love you all!

GaGa Ooo La LA

Ok Lovelies,

I have a confession to make. I have a girl crush.. I mean. A SERIOUS girl crush. On who you may ask? Well... none other than

LADY GAGA!!!!!!

This shit is real son. I am always in utter awe and amazement when I look at a photo, watch her perform, or hear her music. Now, I've had a few people ask me what it is about Gaga that i'm so crazy about..
Well..

The bish is weird as shit! But I love that! Her outfits are always outrageous and ballsy. She isn't afraid to push the envelope and be different. As a fellow fashionista I absolutely cant be mad at that. Instead of hating (like so many do) I definitely congratulate.

But..

I understand. A lot of people don't get it. And honestly, some are so close minded that they never will. But I do. And that's all that matters.

Now... On to the heart of this post. I don't just adore her fashion sense. But her lyrics always hit some typa nerve with me. Just Dance (her first single released in the US) didn't really do it for me and honestly, I thought that was going to be it for her. But then Poker Face came out and my whole idea of her changed. Such a clever way of saying that you were going to start playing the big boy games and play with a man's emotions. Love her. While i could listen to this song all day, her next two singles in my opinion will go down as my all time favorite. But people don't hear the same things that I hear, so I'm going to break down verses of my 2 all time favorite Lady Gaga songs, Paparazzi and Bad Romance.

Paparazzi

Lyrics:We are the crowd, we're c-coming out.

Got my flash on it's true.

Need that photo of you. It's so magical

We'd be so fantastical

* I realize I may not be the only one that likes you. So I'll stand and wait for you to come out with these other chicks. Hopefully I catch your attention because I think we would be great together.

Lyrics: I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me.

Papa- Paparazzi

*I like you more than those other girls, I'll stick around all the time until you feel the same way. Know what your doing all the time like the paparazzi.

Lyrics: Baby there's no other superstar you know that I'll be

your papa -paparazzi

* There's nobody else on my radar, you're the only one that I want.

Lyrics: Promise I'll be kind. But I wont stop until that boy is mine.

Baby You'll be famous, chase you down until you love me.

* I promise I'll play fair, but I wont give up until you love me.

Bad Romance

Lyrics: I want your ugly, I want your disease

I want your everything as long as it's free

I want your Love

*Even though you might not look as good as some of the others, I still want you.

Lyrics: I want your love and I want your revenge

You and me could write a bad romance.

*I want your love and all that comes with it. We're so screwed up our love could be a romance novel

Lyrics: I want your psycho, your vertigo stick.

Want you in my room, baby when you're sick.

I want your love

*I want all your craziness. And I want your dick even though it gets me dizzy in the head. I want to be captain save-a-hoe because you just arent right in the head right now. But I can fix it because I want you!

Lyrics: Je Veux ton amour

*I want your love

Lyrics Et je veux ta revanche

* I want your revenge

UGH. It's almost sickening how amazing this bish is. Everybody that's ever been in love, lust, or felt any sort of romantic emotion with anybody can relate to her lyrics. I have no confessions to offer up today. But I do have pictures of Lady Gaga that remind me every day that "fitting it" is definitely Standing out!

LeTs TalK abOut SEX

"Sex boggles your brain. I'll keep my sanity thank you!" - @ohmyGAUDY

Lovelies,
The Post for today is all about S.E.X. What was once considered taboo, sex is now popping up everywhere from television to film to radio and in homes across America. It seems that everything that you'd ever want to know about sex you can learn just by watching some of today's music videos (I.E "Invented Sex" Pictured above) For us grown folks, we had that dreaded birds and the bees talk when we were younger. You know the speech. "When a man and a woman really love each other (WHEN THEY'RE MARRIED) They decide to express that love for one another (WHILE THEY'RE MARRIED) blah blah blah. At some point or another, you make the decision to lose your virginity and that ladies and gentleman is when you no longer are a child. What my parents never mentioned, was that besides the physical consequences of sex (possible pregnancy, and disease) there are also huge emotional ties.
Um. DUH
Ok, so it's pretty obvious right?
Wrong!
The truth is, while some are good at separating sex from feelings, there are only a select few that do that and pull it off successfully.
When you get to the fork in the road in a courtship where you two have to decide whether to just be "friends" or take things further, sex can determine whether it's a smooth path, or a bumpy road.
When we have sex, we essentially are receiving (in whatever form of your choosing), sharing or giving (in whatever form of your choosing) and exchanging. You're also building an invisible bond. Even if the two people decide amicably that they will just remain friends, it will never be as it was before you two hit the sack. But at least there are friendly feelings.
Now...
If the separation was not so lovely, then run for cover. For most woman, (quality woman) sex is the finalizing factor. We (quality woman) rarely sleep with someone that we wouldn't consider dating. Drunken wham bam thank you ma'ams are not included in this discussion. I'm talking about someone that you chat with on the phone, start to date, smile when they text you, go through the motions with. A quality woman knows the consequences and repercussions of taking it to the next level, therefore we are choosy in who gets the nookie. Men, consider yourselves the best of the best, because trust, there isn't a day that goes by that a woman is not solicited for sex. We can literally get it from anywhere but you are the chosen ones. When we finally decide to let you into our private intimate world, and if you really get down with the get down, there isn't anything that a (quality woman) wont do for you. We would literally give you the world if we could.
But scorn us, and that's when the war paint comes out. The other polar side to that woman can come out and make you want to crawl back into your mothers womb and never return. Even a (quality woman) who has been scorned after sex may end up catching a case. Sometimes it really is that deep. It seems now a days because sex is constantly in our faces nobody values or even cares about the affects of intimacy until it's too late.

Today's Confessions:

• I confess that I've taken the necessary steps, and now a lot of big things are happenin for ya girl. I'm very excited and closer than ever to my dream!!
• I confess that it is absolutely RIDICULOUS how obsessed I am with Lady Gaga. Seriously I drool over that bish.
• I confess that I too have fallen for the oke doke. And felt like I was damn near losing my mind because I was so angry.
• I confess that the sex was goooood. :-( :-/ :-)

Yes Lovelies. Sex can be a stress reliever, a time passer, and just an all around great time. Whether it's a consensual 1 night stand, the first time with a new boo, or the 100th time with the long term boyfriend. But remember, everything in your body is essentially connected and controlled by the brain and the heart. Sex may feel great in the heat of the moment, but always think about how your heart will feel later on.

"Some people are settling down, some people are settling, and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies" -Carrie Bradshaw

Hello Lovelies!

That's one of my favorite quotes from Sex and the City. And why?? Because too many times we decide to take the easy way out of situations and settle. And by we please believe I mean myself included..
Now...
I'm not just talking about love lives either. Any situation whether it be with a job, or friends sometimes we feel like it's just a lot easier to settle for a sure thing.

But

Settling is kind of like putting a band-aid over a bullet wound; a temporary fix. When you settle in a relationship sense, it's bound to have disastrous results.
But

It's so easy to look for that safety net. The act of love is like one big circus act. Lets say you're the flying trapeze artist. You're swinging and swaying and putting on a hell of a show. But then that time comes where your partner is waiting for you to finish at the platform. You have to choose whether to trust and grab there hands and finish your performance off strong, or to let go and allow the safety net to catch you. It can be scary not knowing if your partner will be there for you, to catch you and hold on to you. And while your swinging and wondering whether or not your going to be caught, that safety net starts lookin real good. But there are certain things that must be considered before you make the decision.

Like

If you do decide to fall, sure you'll be nice and safe but your performance would be half ass. You took the easy way out. Besides everybody else criticizing such a bootleg performance, that doesn't compare to YOU feeling like you've failed.

Everybody has that 1 person that they know they can always go back to whenever they feel lonely and that's always ready to be in a relationship with you. We keep those on reserve just for rainy days. It's not that this person is a bad person per say, they just aren't your first choice. You're first choice is the person standing at the platform that may or may not catch you. Settling for your safety net always seems like the safest and easiest choice but after awhile feelings of resentment may arise and what was once deemed "safe" can turn into annoying. Soon there are arguments, and feelings of bitterness and unhappiness and suddenly your wishing you would have just taken the leap.

Todays Confessions:

• I confess that I'm sick because I've been waltzing around Chicago in barely anything
• I confess that my love life has become something of a circus
• I confess that I punked out and fell into my safety net :-/

Well lovelies, nobody said love was easy because it isn't. Like I said before it has the potential to be like a 3 ring circus. But it's up to you to decide whether you'll continue being an act, or take center stage as the ring leader. Love you all :-)
